On My Way

Awesome!  I love hearing stories like yours! It really gives me hope!

Awesome, i wish you well.  I went 6 hours away to have surgery. I had done research on my weight loss facility. I wanted a particular surgeon.  It is a life style change with challenges that I am figuring out daily.  Nonetheless, worth every step. Good luck, you are going to take ownership of your venture.

I really appreciate that! I would have gone elsewhere to have the surgery years ago but I had a sick mother and a really small child. I wouldn't burden my mother that way. I am glad to hear you don't regret the choice and are doing well!

My surgery date is 6/27/16......once your insurance approves everything, i got my surgery date within a week. I got the psyche eval first, letter from my doctor. Didn't take long at all. I have one more appointment before surgery.....4 hour appointment to go over everything and gall bladder testing. I can't wait to get things started. 

I am going out of town in July  so they will have to give me a date in August. I have tickets, and hotels and I can't cancel lolI did my psych eval and have to do my sleep study and cardiology report.I hope I pass the gall bladder test because I had stones and was suffering from it for a long time. I added you as a friend to follow your journey

Unfortunately, I live in SC so I am self pay.  The process for me will be about 2 months.  My expected surgery date is July 12th.  I've wanted this since 2009.  The nerves are flowing. 

I would pay cash if I had it! You still have a shorter wait time than I do! I will follow your journey! I wish you much luck!

Has anyone had surgery yet?? Im on my pre op liquid diet.. 2 weeks of liquid d only.Surgery date August 31.. Been researching and debating for 2 years.

Hello.  I am 16 months post-op.  I had the Sleeve on 4/2/15.  I know how you feel on the pre-op liquid diet.  I had to do it for 4 weeks before surgery.  Having the Sleeve was the BEST decision that I ever made!
